We help people through intervention & advocacy.

Welcome to the Well in the Desert website.

You will gain much information here about the Well and what we do. The most important component of what we do - along with all of the services we offer - is that we give hope, love, compassion, and dignity to those we serve.

We do not give up on those who are lost, never stop caring about what they are going through, never stop thinking they can overcome their troubles. We call ourselves the family of the Well. We invite you to become part of it in whatever way you choose.

programs for poverty prevention, services for poverty intervention,and an organized effort to advocate for the poor.

Our presence in Palm Springs over the last 21 years has been vital to both those in need and the community at large. We are a positive force in the community, and will continue to provide these services to all in the City of Palm Springs.

We have made huge strides over the years and are known by all for the good work we do. Our late Supervisor Roy Wilson described us as “the safety net for the western end of the Coachella Valley”.

It was an honor to receive the humanitarian award for Community Service from the Palm Springs Human Rights Commission, and we shall continue to live up to those standards of service for as long as the needs are there.

Financial donations are what keep “food on the table.” We exist because of individual donors like yourself. No donation is too small, nor too big. Our yearly budget of $450,000.00 provides food and services to thousands of people. Churches, individuals and Foundations are what make it possible for us to do our job of helping others.
